The Smashing Pumpkins – Adore (2xLP + Single-Sided LP, Original Pressing, 1998, Caroline/Virgin 7243 8 45879 1 8)

Why This Record Matters
Adore represents a major stylistic shift for The Smashing Pumpkins, blending electronic textures with their alternative rock foundation. As an original 1998 pressing, it stands as one of the band’s most collectible releases, especially given its limited vinyl availability at the time.

Collector Note
Original 1998 US pressing, sealed. This is a true collector piece—OG copies are scarce, and sealed examples are significantly harder to find. Market activity supports strong pricing, with condition and originality driving premium value.

Availability
Single copy available—once it’s gone, it’s gone.
